Find high-value ways to deepen a codebase's modules, present them visually, and explore the chosen change. Use when the user asks to improve a codebase's architecture or find where its modules should be deepened or merged. For needless complexity in specific code, use `audit-code-complexity`.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Improve Codebase Architecture

Find code that is hard to follow or change because callers must coordinate details that belong together. Propose modules that hide those details and make the behavior easier to test.

When the user has already selected a candidate or concrete target change, inspect that target and proceed directly to exploring it. Do not produce another candidate menu or ask them to select it again. A named subsystem may instead limit discovery when the user is still asking which change would help.

This command is _informed_ by the project's domain model and built on a shared design vocabulary:

- Consult the `codebase-design` skill when available for deep-module principles, caller contracts, and seam justification. Use its architectural distinctions alongside established product and repository vocabulary. Evaluate what an interface hides and what callers gain; adapter count alone does not justify or rule out a seam.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add marcellocurto/skills/improve-codebase-architecture@sha256:de6fdfb922369a07

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261029.444423a, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
